Massage Therapy
Hands-on work with Kyla Trujillo, LMT, MMP — whether it’s standing alone or paired with your physical therapy plan, built around what your tissue actually needs.
More Than Relaxation — Massage With a Purpose
Massage at True Health & Performance isn’t a spa add-on bolted onto a PT clinic — it’s delivered by Kyla, a co-founder of the practice, and it’s built to work alongside (or stand entirely on its own from) the same evaluation-first philosophy behind everything else here.
Some patients come in purely for relief — tight shoulders, a knotted low back, tension that’s built up over months. Others use massage as part of a broader rehab plan, releasing the soft tissue that’s limiting progress elsewhere. Either reason is a good one.
Tight tissue doesn’t just feel uncomfortable — it can quietly limit how well the rest of your plan works. Massage is often the piece that unlocks the rest.
What Massage Can Do For You
Releases Chronic Tension
Deep, focused work on the areas — upper back, neck, hips — that tend to hold onto stress and repetitive strain.
Supports Your PT Plan
Loosening restricted tissue that’s limiting mobility or masking the real driver of your pain.
Improves Circulation & Recovery
Hands-on work that supports the body’s own healing and recovery process between sessions.
Reduces Stress, Not Just Soreness
The nervous-system benefits of consistent massage go beyond the muscle itself.
What to Expect From a Session
Every session starts with a quick check-in — what’s tight, what’s changed since last time, what you’re hoping to get out of the hour.
From there, Kyla focuses pressure and technique on what your tissue actually needs that day, whether that’s broad relaxation work or targeted, specific release.
Focused, Purposeful Pressure
Technique and pressure are matched to what your tissue needs — not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Coordinated With Your PT Plan
If you’re also in physical therapy here, massage is planned around what will actually help that progress.
Sessions Built Around Your Time
Book the length that fits what you need — a quick focused session or a full-body hour.
The Core of Every Session
Deep Tissue & Trigger Point Work
Targeted pressure on the specific knots and restricted areas driving your discomfort.
Myofascial Release
Slow, sustained pressure that helps free up tissue that’s become stuck or restricted.
Sports & Recovery Massage
Technique geared toward athletes and active patients managing training load and recovery.
Massage Therapy FAQs
Do I need to also be in physical therapy to get a massage?
No — massage is available as its own appointment, whether or not you’re currently in a PT plan here.
What if I only want relaxation, not deep tissue?
Tell Kyla what you’re looking for at the start of your session — pressure and technique are built around your preference, not a fixed protocol.
How often should I get a massage?
It depends on what you’re using it for — occasional relief, ongoing stress management, or as a regular part of a rehab plan. Kyla can help you figure out a reasonable cadence.
Can massage help if I’m also seeing Dr. Pete or Dr. Torey for PT?
Often, yes — tight or restricted tissue can limit how well PT progresses, and the team can coordinate your plan across both.
